Any 2013 Transatlantic reports?
I'm looking for reports, photos or feedback from anyone who sailed on this year's Estbound Transatlantic.
I have a deposit down for next year's cruise and am excited to hear about what it was like! I'll be re-shopping it on my Alaska cruise in September. Specific questions - 1) Is an inside cabin ok for such a long trip? Currently reserved a deluxe inside but LOVE verandahs. Price is our reasoning here. 2) Do they offer Palo brunch nd if so can you book more than once seeing as it is a long cruise? 3) Weather/sea conditions 4) Activities offered/things to do 5) Any good spa deals?! Thank you!!! |
Myself, DH and DD just came back from that trip. It was awesome. 1. I cannot attest to the inside cabin as we had a balcony. But I have met people who had insides and they did not complain. :) 2. They offer Palo brunch on sea days and it is fabulous. You may only book one brunch and one dinner while at home. But the TA cruises are hardly full. So you can reserve more brunches once on-board. 3. The ocean was very calm for the first ten days. We had one rough-ish day after Madeira but if you stayed horizontal - it was not that bad. It was pretty chilly and windy after Castaway Cay. 4. We did not partake in any activities other than evening shows. Disney shows were outstanding (A +, as always). Other evening shows were very good (B+). But don't forget that you will be losing an hour almost every day, so you will be waking up late in the morning. (10am in our case :lmao:). Late breakfast, gym, then sit outside and read your books. Very nice! There were things like ballroom dance lessons and trivia games in the mid-day. You could catch a movie in Buena Vista. 5. Did not do a spa. You will have a fabulous tome on EBTA. Remember to write down your passwords and things to do for after cruise. As it is a total mental detox. |
We were also on this cruise, and were in an inside cabin, 10c on deck 1 and have no complaints at all as we were hardly in our cabin due to being so busy!! We found the temps were fine for us being British and didn't get affected by the rocking of the ship for that day, but I know some people did.
Do you ever go on the DIBB? David has scanned all the Navigators for the trip for you to check out the daily activities. Can't help with Palo or the spa as we don't 'do' either of them. |
Thanks for your replies.
Dee_slack, how did you get on with one-way flights to Orlando and from Barcelona? I've been looking already for next May and they're far more expensive than I thought they would be! |
In researching my Westbound TA cruise next year, my travel agent suggested round trip ticket to/from Barcelona, and a one-way to Orlando (although my cruise ends in San Juan, but you get the idea).
My responses below:
Next year, we'll use miles HNL to BCN, then buy flights from San Juan to DC (meeting family there), then back to HNL. That should only cost us $700 pp instead of $3000 if we bought the HNL-BCN portion! |
The just completed EBTA DCL cruise was wonderful! One negative, the only one, was that we were out of sync with all of the 23 hour days, and truly were more tired than we thought we would be.
I enjoyed the two guest speakers. Charles Richardson was the lecturer and on sea days he had a lecture (he repeated it and it was shown on in cabin TV) about sea topics such as the ocean, pirates, culture of the areas we visited and more. Stacia Martin often did 2 presentations a day as well. Hers were very informative about Disney Topics or else it was a Draw some Figures workshop. She gave away the sketches she drew or an article of historical significance for Disney Lovers! I won her sketch of Thumper!:cheer2: I think Disney could update their answers for such shows as the Feud! I think some of the responses came from 10 years ago! We used air miles for our return trip. Bobbi:goodvibes |
Thanks everyone, I appreciate your feedback.
Will anyone be doing a TR?! I love the ones with photos!! |
I was in an inside cabin on the recent EBTA. In fact, for all 3 of my cruises I have only ever had an inside cabin, so I have nothing to compare to! However, given I am in the room so little it really doesn't bother me at all, I really like them (especially the sideways ones!).
Sea conditions were amazing apart from 24 hours between Madeira and Gibralter where we were swaying all over the place! Didn't bother me at all, the pools had to be emptied though. Weather was great, but bare in mind I'm from the UK so the slightest hint of sunshine and we've all got our shorts on and are out sunbathing! I did find it a little chilly up on deck in the evening so just wore a cardigan and was fine. Didn't do the Spa, so can't help you with that. Trip was amazing, would do it again in a hearbeat if I could, but sadly I can't as my kids have exams next year. They made great friends in Vibe, cried for a week after leaving them, and have been speaking every day on skype, facetime etc. |
Oh good, I thought it was me. I wanted to ask the same question. Any trip reports planned, anyone?
I'm going on the EBTA next year :thumbsup2 |
We had two Palo brunches (one group, one just the two of us) and one dinner. I got the impression we could have book a lot more. Our kids swam every sea day. The only day I was cold was when we were in Madiera. And the only rough night, as mentioned before, was between Madiera and Gibraltar. DH and I didn't have any reaction to it, but our girls ended up needing the meds they give out at guest services. The meds worked quickly and the girls were fine soon after taking them. We didn't do any spa stuff but there seemed to be lots of things offered. We also didn't do much of the activities offered. There were a TON of things offered, but we just stuck to ourselves and did the pool or movies every day. But our meet group had a lot of activities and the Navigator was always packed full of things to do. You can be as busy or not as you want. I have a hard time thinking anyone could get bored. We booked this for next year as well and I hope we can do it. The airfare is a killer. We did DIsney Air this year and it was $1174 each. That flew us from the PNW to TX, put us in a hotel in TX, then transfers to the boat, then transfers to the airport and finally, flight from BCN to the PNW. Next year Disney Air is $1300 :eek: But again, it includes air, transfers and hotel for one night. We booked it but will look for other options closer to the sail date. I will say that the constant loss of an hour a day was hard. Our girls had a really rough time with that! |
Try doing a google search for DIBB transatlantic. They've got trip reports for the most recent transatlantic :-).
Another EBTA 2013 person who booked the EBTA 2014!
Great time, calm seas, lots of fun Cat 11 - not missed a verandah at all. I spent most time in the lectures, cooking classes, cove café, deck 9, deck 4. I did Palo brunch and dinner, both are available for booking when you board. Trip report with pictures http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3125917 |

I have been blessed by UYI for many of years directly and indirectly. just recently my 15 year old son had an oppurtunity to spend time with UYI during the retreat. Although he has been in church all his life he has never shared a testimony like he did after the retreat. He told me he experinced the presents of the Holy Spirit. This experence was all becuase of UYI. . The ministry is the best in the nation and should be the model for urban youth ministry around the world. UYi is one of the leading ministry breaking the destructive cycle of poverty, crime, and spiritual bondage in the lives of the youthin the memphis community. Minister Felicia Williams OFBC & JIFF

BC Wood will once again be ramping up its' presence at the Interior Design Show West (IDS West) this coming fall, September 25-28, 2014 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. In an effort to bring more attention to the growing strength of wood design and manufacturing in BC, BC Wood has partnered with the show organizers of IDS West to create a high profile "Design BC" pavilion. The pavilion will showcase BC Wood members and their products – everything from custom furniture and architectural millwork, to design-inspired finished products such as kitchen cabinets, doors, flooring, and paneling. We will also create a special "feature" area to draw more traffic to the centrally located space.
The show attracts more than 35,000 attendees over 3½ days. This includes 5,000 guests to the Party On Opening Night, 6,000 designers, architects, buyers, builders/developers, and other industry professionals during trade day, and an additional 25,000 consumers interested in design.
A total of 1400 square feet of exhibition space has been set aside for the "Design BC" pavilion and feature area, with BC Wood covering a portion of the hard costs for this sector wide display. If you plan to participate in the IDS West show this year, please contact BC Wood to see how we can save you money and ensure you higher visibility through the "Design BC" pavilion.

Since our last Wood Connections, we have focused (and continue to do so) on three key issues:
The Wood First Forum and Other Programs at the GBM for Specifiers
Our search for speakers both international and domestic is just about completed and will be announce in the next Wood Connections. As with past years, all of the speakers are top notch and will be discussing very current developments in their respective fields. We expect this program to be a great draw for the specifiers.
Other key areas we are working on for the specifiers at the GBM are our Friday afternoon mini-seminar sessions with the exhibitors, Saturday afternoon's program, and of course, getting out the invitations to the Specifiers.
This year, invitations are being sent to specifiers in BC, Alberta, and the US Pacific Northwest – the last two are a result of our Specifier Outreach Workshops we held in those two jurisdictions. As with the speakers, we expect much of the foregoing to be completed and in place in the next couple of weeks.
The Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation
You may have read other articles on the new Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). In the case of the Specifiers Program, every architect, designer, contractor, and engineer in Canada we invite to various programs must explicitly agree that they want to continue to receive our emailed invitations. We will be contacting the specifiers to receive their express consent so we can continue inviting them to our programs. As this has caught most of us off guard, we hadn't planned for the extra time to implement it. However, like the rest of the associations in Canada, we just have to work our way through it.
Ongoing Visits to Existing and Potential Specifier Program Participants
This is a far more pleasant task than the just mentioned one and is actually one of my favorite parts of the job. Although today's technology almost makes face-to-face visits a thing of the past, to me, there is nothing more dynamic than getting out and visiting participants in their place of business. I am well over half way through these visits and have enjoyed every minute of them, as each visit provides great insight into the people and businesses we regularly present to specifiers.
Should you require additional information on any of the above, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

nakedwood, a Vancouver based creative wood design company is serious about reclaimed and sustainably harvested wood products. After being in the industry for over seven years manufacturing custom cabinetry, Owner/Designer Jaxon Howell was tired of the ordinary. He wanted to combine rustic and modern, making custom pieces for the new generation. While one-of-a-kind, handcrafted furniture and feature walls are nakedwood's bread and butter, everything from cabinets to signs and picture frames can be crafted beautifully as well. All of the wood salvaged has its own unique character and history.
"Working with reclaimed wood is my passion. I want to reutilize these materials to recreate something fresh and unique. The character in aged wood, the deep grooves in the grain from being weathered, nail holes, wear marks, and scars from its use over the years give each piece a one-of-a kind look and feel, marrying the former story to its new one," said Howell. Their unique, simple design allows their pieces to live in any style of home.
nakedwood was recently commissioned to provide some exciting pieces for the new HootSuite Media office that opened up last year. Everything from log stools and benches, to feature walls, bistro tables, board room tables, planter boxes, and more. They just finished up work on HootSuite's latest office as well filling it with many more amazing pieces. They are continuing to supply HootSuite and other West Coast companies like Noodle Box and Lush with unique, custom pieces throughout the year.

Skyline Tradeshow Tips – June 9, 2014
Small businesses can now garner the same benefits as their larger competitors at industry events and trade shows. Once seen as a corporate Who's Who of business leaders, industry events are now recognized as an excellent opportunity for smaller local businesses and cottage industries. Trade show booth rentals have become more affordable, making these lucrative events a solid investment in future profitability for even the smallest business. The ROI is undeniable and the up-front investment is surprisingly affordable. Here are just 5 reasons that trade shows can help small businesses grow:
1. Renting Trade Show Booths
If your small business may not be able to afford a staff of marketing specialists or the production of a trade show booth, renting a booth could be a viable option. By renting trade show booths, your small business gets all the advantages of working with a team of experts and housing a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, without the expense. Trade show booths are designed by you, in conjunction with a team of advertising professionals, at a price you can afford. Your brand and your message will make a powerful statement with a rented display, while staying within your specified budget.

On June 11th, we were invited to attend a special reception for suppliers, whose support helped build the new Ronald McDonald House® BC. Many BC Wood members generously donated their time, products and materials to the new RMH. We had an exclusive sneak peek at BC's new home-away-from-home for BC and Yukon's sick kids and families – capable of handling up to 73 families at one time. The previous house could support only 13 families, so this new facility, designed by architect Michael Green, is one of the top 5 in the world.
On June 16th, Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon reached a milestone seven years in the making, with the grand opening of the brand new facility on the grounds of BC Children's Hospital.
"This is a momentous day for seriously ill children and their families in British Columbia," said Richard Pass, CEO, Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon. "We are extremely grateful to each and every person who made this new House possible – from our donors, to the public to the Province of BC and McDonald's® Canada. With the new Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon, over 2,500 families each year will have a home-away-from-home while their child is receiving medical care in Vancouver.",

Ministry of International Trade News Release – June 10, 2014
The B.C. government is investing $2.14 million to advance the use of wood in British Columbia with a focus on expanding the use of wood in non-residential construction, strengthening manufacturing capabilities, and positioning B.C. as a global leader in wood design technologies.
Funding is being provided to industry trade associations and research institutions with proven records in wood products marketing, training, wood products development and research. The funds are being distributed through the Wood First program, an initiative to grow the culture of wood throughout B.C. and to develop world-leading technologies and building systems that can be used to promote B.C. wood sales both at home and in foreign markets.

In a previous article, I briefly introduced the "Orandajima House" project in the town of Yamada in Iwate Prefecture and I am happy to say that it has now been completed. Hundreds of years ago a Dutch ship ran aground on a small island in the town's bay (now called Orandajima or Dutch Island) and the crew would have starved to death had the local people not come to their rescue. As a result, Yamada developed close ties with Holland involving many exchange programs so after the 3/11 earthquake and tsunami, a group of Dutch business people in Japan decided that they had to help the people of Yamada as the Dutch sailors were helped in the past. In consultations with town officials, the group decided to donate an after-school care facility that would also offer grief counseling for children returning to the area wiped out by the tsunami. The project was named Orandajima House.
A Dutch architect based in Tokyo by the name of Martin van der Linden took the lead on designing the building and organizing the materials. I knew him through the activities of the BC Wood design program in Japan and had pitched him on using WRC products in his Euro-modern designs. As a result, about a month after the earthquake, he approached me to see if we could supply WRC as cladding for the concrete-steel building he was envisioning at the time. We had not yet setup the Canada-Tohoku Reconstruction Project, but I told him that we would help by introducing suppliers and offering any technical assistance required. I also proposed going with a wood structure.
Even though the Dutch group began this project immediately after the earthquake, assembling the funds and developing the project took almost two years. Once they were ready, Martin contacted me again about the WRC. It was the perfect time as we were just accepting applications under the second phase of the Canada-Tohoku Reconstruction Project. They applied for funding to cover the costs of the WRC products they needed and were approved by the board in Canada.
However, the building later became a wood structure and they came back to us with additional requests for the structural components. In the end, Canada contributed not only the WRC, but also SPF, OSB, Hemlock, and Douglas Fir. For a very small portion of the total budget of $700,000, the Canada-Tohoku Reconstruction Project was able to have the facility built entirely of wood, showcase wood in a modern design, and also help the children in another community devastated by 3/11. I was very proud seeing this beautiful building completed and children already enjoying it on opening day.

For the first time in many years, BC Wood and members participated in the HD Expo in Las Vegas. Five member companies attended including Barker Manufacturing, Brent Comber Originals, Live Edge Design, Martha Sturdy, and Stick & Stones Furniture.
This is a very important show for our furniture and design sector as over 900 exhibitors from around the world present their products to interior design companies, architecture firms, owners, operators, developers, specifiers, and purchasers that are looking for the latest, most innovative and creative tools for their renovations and new builds. Visitor traffic was up 15% this year and some of our members even sold product directly off the floor!
Sticks and Stones were recognized with an Award of Excellence as part of the IIDA Product Design Competition, for the category of Outdoor Seating. Their Social Circle and Live Edge Design's new Phantom Communal Table both made the pages of the Thursday Show Daily publication.

We continue the process of meeting with industry to finalize the list of companies who will be actively participating in the Specifiers program for the current fiscal year. I find this to be a very enjoyable task as it allows me the opportunity of visiting many of our province's manufacturing facilities and meeting with key individuals face to face to determine how best the program can benefit them. I never cease to be amazed with some of the great products our industry produces and am always anxious to assist those companies to expose their products to those who are tasked with specifying or procuring them.
Pemberton Barn Raising Event
A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to get to witness a small portion of the Pemberton Barn Raising Event sponsored by the Timber Framers Guild. There were up to 60 timber framers involved in this 12 day event from all parts of North America including some from BC. All participating timber framers were volunteers and for many, these 12 days represented their vacation; a true dedication to their craft. Congratulations to all who participated.
This picture (above) was taken on Thursday, the 9th day of the event and everything was wound up by Sunday. Once completed, this facility will be used to house the Pemberton Music Festival this July 16 – 20 and will be a great legacy for the city of Pemberton, thanks to the Timber Framers Guild and key suppliers.
Vancouver Regional Construction Association Annual Conference, Whistler, BC
This is the second year in a row that BC Wood attended this conference where we exhibited, networked with the contractors, and attended some great seminars. We also used the occasion to increase our exposure with the VRCA and network with some of the exhibitors. One of those exhibitors was Canadian Construction Women.
Canadian Construction Women (CCW)
Not so long ago nursing, teaching, and clerical work were among the few career options available to women. Times have changed; now, non-traditional occupations including working in construction are among the choices women have. Also, more and more, women are becoming key decision makers in procuring product for construction firms. The CCW is an association that acts as a resource for information on construction and exists to attract and retain women in the industry.
After meeting with key personnel from the CCW and learning more about them, I am convinced the association offers some great opportunities for our industry. BC Wood is actively exploring how our two associations can work together to the mutual benefit of both. Stay tuned!

Vancouver based Shelter Residential Design is an architecture and furniture design company that has evolved out of the desire to create objects, spaces, and buildings that delight and inspire. At the root of Shelter's design philosophy is a respect for the environment and a desire to reduce their ecological footprint. They bring a strong design vision to every project and understand the collaborative nature of building.
Principal, Mark Simone, has had a lifelong passion for photography and design. Upon completing a degree in Architecture from the University of Waterloo in 2000, he has spent time as a designer, artist, and builder to fully explore his creative vision in architectural and furniture design. His years of experience as a professional renderer allow him to fully capture the client's vision by showing them how the finished project will look prior to starting on it. By doing so, clients can fine tune certain details to receive a result they are truly satisfied with.
Shelter was involved in BC Wood's 2014 Structure program where 6 design companies designed a unique seat for a swing set made from Weyerhaeuser's Parallam material. Parallam is made from laminated strips of veneer that are glued together. The swing spans 30 feet in length and was displayed at the Buildex show.
One of their recent projects was designing and building a 2200 sqft home in Squamish. Careful attention was paid to both building massing and window placement enabling expansive views to the mountains without creating a fishbowl effect from the interior. The defining feature for the home is the relationship between the large south facing clerestorey windows and the curved ceiling over the kitchen. The result fills the home with natural light and ventilation.

Skyline Tradeshow Tips – May 22, 2014
Managing Your Trade Show Booth for an Optimal New Product Launch
Launching a new product or product line is one of the best reasons to exhibit at a trade show. Trade shows give you the opportunity for a live, captive audience, and proves an ideal way to get your product in the hands of your targeted consumer demographic. Additionally, you can gain invaluable insight directly from the crowd about what they think of your product offering.
While a product launch at your trade show booth offers an impressive opportunity for yielded results, the process still requires careful strategy and execution to ensure you don't leave business on the showroom floor for your competitors to steal. When creating your product launch strategy, follow these simple tips for maximum return on investment.

A few comments, suggestions, and ideas that may be of interest…
This past while I have been reviewing a number of marketing and sales websites that purport to connect manufacturers to buyers. Some are obviously better than others but two that I think really standout in the North American residential and hospitality sectors are Houzz and TODL.
Houzz targets the residential housing market and is a site designed to help trade professionals including builders, architects, interior designers, and home owners. This platform provides design inspiration, project advice, product information, and professional reviews to help homeowners, designers, and trade professionals turn their ideas into reality.
Watch this quick video on how Houzz has helped companies:
(video link: http://vimeo.com/53188990)
TODL (Trade Only Design Library) is a portal that services professionals in the Hospitality and Design sectors. TODL has built the largest pre-qualified group of design professionals in the world providing over 70,000 interior designers, architects, retail purchasers, facility managers, builders, landscape designes, and other professional purchasers access to more than 300,000 products for their residential, contract, commercial, hospitality, and LEED-certified projects.
I think that it's worth your time to have a look at these sites and see if they are worth the investment. They are not for every company, and very much product dependent; however, they do provide another avenue of sales and an increased exposure of your product in the market. If you decide to go down this road, I believe that high resolution professional photography is an absolute must.

Globe and Mail – May 28, 2014
Vancouver furniture designer Brent Comber, whose elegantly simple pieces exploring the materials of the Pacific Northwest have won him international renown, has a new furniture collection that takes him back to a new art form. The collection, called Ikebana, is, as the name suggests, based on the Japanese art of flower arranging.
"Before I decided to get into woodworking full time, I thought maybe I would open a flower shop, actually. I've always liked flowers and the discipline of how they're arranged," says the man who has been dubbed the "wood whisperer".
"When I learned more about the Japanese point of view, and the discipline of ikebana, I really appreciated the negative space that they liked and also I liked the idea of honouring the leaf and the stem and the flower all with equal importance," Comber adds.
The exploration of negative space is highlighted in the ends of occasional tables, and Comber's interest in materials runs throughout the entire collection, composed of one console table, called Seika, and three solid wood pieces, called Shin, Soe and Hikae, that can be configured – arranged like flowers, in fact – in multiple ways.

Consider this my Purim gift to you! Print, color, display, admire!
Achashverosh: Let's get this party started!
Esther: Not just another pretty face.
Haman: That's a noose, idiot, not a lasso!
Vashti: What are you staring at?!
(Why does Vashti have a tail? What if I don't want Vashti with a tail? Read my comments at the bottom of this post!)
Mordechai: Why can't we all just get along?
Please share with your friends! Happy Purim!!
VASHTI UPDATE: I have been receiving comments from people that they'd like to have Vashti without a tail. If you want Vashti pre-tail, you can contact me and I will send it to you. However, I think it is important for kids (and adults!) to know that Haman was not the only villain in the Purim story. There is a popular misconception that Vashti she was an early feminist, a woman who valued her dignity too much to parade naked before her husband's drunken guests. While Vashti does present us with a mysterious, beautiful, fascinating character, there is more to the story than meets the eye.
Who was Vashti? Where did she come from? Why did she refuse to parade naked before the King's guests? What was her sin? Why was she punished specifically with a tail and leprosy? And… c'mon, do you really expect me to believe that she grew a tail?! Rebbetzin Tzipporah Heller gives some deeper insight into the character and history of Vashti here on Aish.com. It's worth reading! Happy Purim :)

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
14 But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your hearts, don't brag about being wise. That is the worst kind of lie. | 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. |
15 For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and motivated by the Devil. | 15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. |
16 For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every kind of evil. | 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. |

Yeah see, I don't know when all this "a mother can't even go take a **** in peace" all started! I think it's absolutely ridiculous how out of control children have become. When I was a kid, I knew better...just sayin'! |
Perfect. When my kids were little, I'd take a shower just to get away from them. No tragedies occurred. |

When my DH and DD are out of the house, the first thing I do is let the dogs outside and trap the cat in the bedroom. Then I GO TO THE BATHROOM ALL BY MYSELF. Dances. |
LOL, Jas, I LOVE it. I am sending it to my daughter and son in law. Moni |
Dances, I know just what you mean. Pets are just like children; they want to follow you everywhere. |
jannie -- I'd vacuum. I could monitor him, but DS knew Mom was *busy* (and couldn't hear any whining). BTW, do you keep your bathroom doors open or closed when not in use? This came up in one of those 'advice' columns recently. (Ours stay closed except the master bath, where the toilet room door is closed.) |
Jasdip - Sadly, the most likely culprits, children under six, cannot read... |
Which reminds me of when I was caregiver to my under 2 year old DGS. He was having a huge tantrum (not accepting "no", most likely), throwing himself at my feet etc. etc.; so I went into the bathroom near the kitchen and closed the door and picked up a book trying to ignore it. Then came the fingers under the door, the talking nicely, the I love you's, minus the wails....so I opened the door....... and he threw himself at my feet. It was too funny, so I laughed and sat in chair where he could crawl into my lap and finish his feeling sorry for himself....having forgotten what the tantrum was about. He is now 37 and has his first (now) 10 month old girl. I hear she is a pistol, and has already learned to push his buttons. Thanks for the memory. |
And it is for similar reasons that I don't have a cell phone. Ring, ring... Where are you? I'm a SAHM and they can leave me alone when I'm in the bathroom and when I am out. |

The Comptroller & Auditor General's compliance audit report - Defence Services (Army and Ordnance Factories) has revealed several irregularities that supposedly robbed the exchequer to the tune of Rs 3,410 crore.
The report, which the national auditor tabled in Parliament on Thursday, condemned the Ministry of Defence, the Army, the Indian Air Force as well as defence research & development agency DRDO for the financial irregularities.
It criticized the Defence Ministry for violating the offset clause. The national auditor listed out a number of deals the ministry provided foreign companies with waivers worth more than Rs 3,000 crore against the rules.
It said undue waivers were granted to Russia for upgrade of the MiG 29 jets, to Boeing for the supply of C 17 plane, and to Lockheed Martin for the C 130 J jet, against the policy.
The report stated, "Despite India being one of the largest importers of defence hardware, the benefits of offsets could not be reaped to the extent envisaged."
It pointed out that the Army let a private builder grab a 5,166-sq m plot of prime land in Mumbai by giving it an irregular no-objection certificate.
The CAG suggested that the CBI, which is already investigating the case, to expose how the builder obtained the NOC when the COD had already objected to the construction of any multi-story structure in the vicinity.

Every year in October and November, as another #USMNT campaign comes to an end and meanwhile NBA season cranks up, my mind wanders to the overlap between a 90 minute soccer player and a 40 MPG basketball player. There are a ton of similarities in the games (spoken from the perspective of very mediocre high school dual sport achievement) in spacing, passing and defensive positioning- not to mention conditioning. Other than the glaring obvious height differential between the best athletes in each sport, it's easy to imagine alternate universes where the best NBA players are instead the best soccer players.
Just for fun, and with two huge caveats below, it's time to imagine a 2014 NBA Players on the Pitch roster.
The caveats:
There are no national allegiances (i.e., this is not a USMNT)
And there is little reflection of actual soccer background for any of the players below- though I'd welcome any points in the comments. Instead we'll make a single assumption- namely, that instead of a lifetime of 5 on 5, our guys have played a lifetime of 11v11, and their corresponding ball handling or shooting touch on 94 feet would roughly correlate to 120 yards. In other words, a tiny assumption that shooting touch and ball handling would translate from hoops to the pitch.
With that, here's the lineup and the rest of the 18:
GK: Anthony Davis
CBs: Joakim Noah, Anderson Varajao
Outside Backs: Andre Iguodala and Kevin Love
Outside Mids: Goran Dragic, Lebron James
Center Mids: Chris Paul, Jimmy Butler
10 Shirt: Russ Westbrook
Striker: Steph Curry
Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, Manu Ginobili, Kyle Lowry, John Wall, Lance Stephenson
In camp: Serge Ibaka, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard
The Spine:
I'm building this team around two complimentary centerbacks that I've wanted to see on the court on the same team. Bonus: they're already equipped with soccer ready hair. The Sweeper- Joakim Noah- is a rugged Defensive Player of the Year with a win-or-go-home mentality and constantly improving offensive arsenal. And the stopper brings savvy positional defending, great passing and underrated midrange scoring. Let's see if Anderson Varajao's pick-and-roll play translates to set pieces in the other half.
They'll play in front of backstop Anthony Davis- a 6'11" athletic freak who just demands an important role on the field. Since we're still trying to figure out how basketball skills translate to soccer, it's possible that training camp will show us to shuffle these three around, and try the gloves on Noah or Varajao. Pretty sure you're not scoring on this 21 foot wall unless you have Ronaldo, Rooney and James. The obvious issue is speed out of the back, and my homer (huge Cavs fan) of Varajao could easily be overturned by sliding the left midwinger back to the most important position on the field, the offensive-minded centerback.
We're going with a 4-5-1, and our trio of center mids are arranged by their defense to offense balance.
Jimmy Butler is an top notch defender (a top guard in defensive win shares, if we're looking at the advanced metrics) and tough two-way player who we'll try to plug into the Jermaine Jones role; minus the penchant for red cards, Kyle Beckerman may be a better analogy. Just ahead of him, Chris Paul serves as the true point guard - a Michael Bradley, not flashy but a heady, efficient, accurate playmaker (the league's highest assist rate - by a lot), and an advanced metrics winner (#6 in total winshares). We just know we'll win more often with him at the point. And the playmaker, the 10 shirt, will be Russell Westbrook. The highest usage rate in the league, explosive passing or scoring. His hand injury won't slow him down around the 18.
Up front, we're going with the lone striker, fearless and high percentage gunner Steph Curry. An assassin finisher and surprisingly efficient defender- not something USMNT fans are used to seeing from the top of the formation.
The Rest
With the spine set (and likely alterations noted) our strategic wings and backs will include:
On the right, Lebron James (outside mid) and Kevin Love (back) are going to pair up as a fast forward threat, as they're learning to do in Cleveland right now. Love will get to the other end line and use his outlet pass acumen to lob crosses in to Curry, Westbrook, or his midfield partner James, sneaking into the box in waiting. Love isn't going to be as rugged an outside back as I like, but he'll pluck every rebound off the posts or out of the air that Noah and Varajao don't nab. James is the ideal midfield compliment to Love, willing to hang back if needed to cover Love, an explosive scorer from anywhere, and fit enough to cover the entire field well beyond stoppage time. Let's face it, with him in that spot, the offense could very well run through the right flank.
The left side is held down in the back by All-NBA Defender Andre Iguodala, an international veteran and the consummate role player in a star studded lineup. Goran Dragic, a lefty and high PER, emerging two-way player, gets the unlikely nod over fellow southpaw James Harden in midfield. Safe to say Paul George would get a start in one of these spots if healthy.
Lance Stephenson: Gives you an irrational confidence (credit Bill Simmons) guy who can defend (a top-2 guard in the NBA in defensive win shares) but also score off the bench. He could start in place of Butler, too.
John Wall: A likely half time or 60 minute sub to jumpstart an offense from the wing, with his end-to-end speed, in the way that Klinnsman used Deandre Yedlin in the World Cup.
Kyle Lowry- the backup with a similar rationale to Chris Paul, and more equipped to run the full 90 as he chews up minutes in Toronto.
The bench is bolstered by a quartet of savvy veterans with championship DNA and an international flair to their games that has to - HAS to - situationally translate to key contributions in the latter stages of big matches.
Kobe (for the ice in his veins), Dirk (an all-time true shooting percentage legend and the most prolific international scorer in the NBA's history), Ginobili (lefty playmaking and underrated defense), and Shawn Marion with his savvy two-way play and ability to cover the Messis and Ronaldos of the world.
Serge Ibaka, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. These 3 guys are in camp and, on our Klinnsmaniest of days, probably make the roster over the Kobe, Manu and Dirk. Leonard is clearly going to explore for a bigger role in the future on our Players on the Pitch roster.
Quick note: Who's the backup goalie? Throw gloves on any of these guys and their going to accel with their great hands, lateral quickness, and demand of excellence. I'm probably going to ask Lebron to slide in first if Anthony Davis goes down. If in camp Lebron's Howardesque vocal leadership proves necessary from between the posts, Davis gives way to LBJ. Kawhi Leonard could also be seen as the goalie of the future- though slightly older than Davis. May inevitably Davis becomes a stopper, Leonard the goalie.
Who knows how this lineup would fare compare to the USMNT, 2014 edition. There'd be a ton of athleticism on the pitch. And we'd get to see how it translates from one sport to the other.

I have been brainstorming how to build a fermentation chamber for quite some time now. I want to have reasonably high output (8, six gallon carboys) with the option of fermenting two different batches at two different temperatures. Given these parameters I have come to the realization that it may be easier to build a custom refrigerator from scratch. I have seen DIY projects where people cut doors and ceilings off of old refrigerators and built around them to make a larger storage space. I have considered this, but I am leaning towards building a unit from scratch because of the ability to customize the unit to be exactly what I want. I was wondering if anyone has ever taken on this project before. I have researched on the internet tirelessly to try to find information on how to build a fridge and I've found some useful information, but it seems very limited. I am planning on going to an appliance parts warehouse this weekend to discuss the project with their associates to get further insight, but I wanted to know if anyone else has tried and/or succeeded in a similar project. I know that once I build the insulated box I need a compressor hooked up to the steel or copper coils, with an expansion valve, and obviously the coolant inside. Are those the only major parts? Any help would be more than greatly appreciated. I know this is a rather complex topic, but it is a project that I've really wanted to tackle and I just can't let it go without giving it a shot. The ability to ferment almost 50 gallons of beer at optimal temperatures would be a dream come true....
It is possible but the problem is if the existing compressor and evaporator coils can efficiently transfer heat in a space larger than what they were designed for. Making a refrigerator larger than it is requires much more knowledge than the typical DIYer has. It can and has been done but then again those people wonder why their compressors never turn off and eventually burn out.
I support the Sternewirth Privilege... Especially for Home Brewers!!
There are a few members here who have removed the guts of refrigerators, and re-purposed them in a heavily insulated boxes to create rather large fermentation chambers. I would think that would be much less hassle than actually building a fridge from scratch (since the condenser/evaporator system would be pre-fabbed). Whatever you do, heed PurpleJeep's warning about overworking the compressor, and make sure that the heat load doesn't outpace whatever system you decide to put together.
Check out the Cool bot available at www.storeitcold.com . I don't own one or have an interest in the company, but I think it's a good indicator of what's possible with an ac unit.
The OP obviously has no idea how refrigeration works. I would say go ahead and build it and your compressor will wither burn out or your power bill will go up. Go get a book on basic refrigeration design if you want to build your own unit.
Thanks for all the input guys. I just randomly stumbled across a commercial freezer that I think should provide me with ample space (49 cubic ft.). Although it's well out of my price range I think am going to try to negotiate to get it down about 20% and hopefully just buy it since building one myself will still cost a pretty penny, but probably not be nearly as effective and take a fair amount of hours. I am still waiting to hear back from the seller, but I'm hopeful. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/app/2622530758.html
Greetings from Chicago! I highly recommend going with an AC unit if you want to build something to purpose for multiple temperature zones. Especially if you're talking about using one compressor to cool two separate areas, I'd expect that an AC unit would do the job best because it has a big ol' fan in it pushing the cool air around. You'll need the fan in the AC unit plus some extra fans to move cold air from one zone to another. Besides, a 5,000 BTU AC unit can be had for next to nothing compared to a freezer. Naturally, you won't have to build anything if you buy a freezer, but if you expect to be dealing with 50 gallons of brew in carboys and buckets or similar fermentation vessels, the dimensions of most commercially available chest and upright freezers and refrigerators won't be optimal. The space might seem sufficient, but the problem is how the space is laid out in most of them. Here's something prrriiide did that really fits the bill: Planning stages: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/fer...-build-222380/ Building stages: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/ferm...-build-239480/ If you decided to go with refrigerators or chest freezers, it would probably be a lot easier to buy two and just set them for different temperatures. Just my .02. Building a whole new refrigerator from scratch is for factories. Foam insulation sheets are relatively inexpensive and do just fine insulating.

ac compressor wont engage with amber ac light button engaged but fresh air and circulate levels, appear to run at normal temps. i checked the 7.5vlt amp fuse and replaced it with a 10amp, no change. put 7.5 back and same issue. im thinking its either the belt or the compressor ground or it ceased under load. heard it grind a few times, when engaging. had 37k miles at that time but has been quite since.
only 41k miles now and would think these compressors last? how many have had similar problems with their compressors? im thinking maybe i kicked some dirt up in the compressor and it ceased. i might try pressure washing around those areas. anyone hear if they have a safety cut off to prevent it from ceasing under any stress loads?

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And the word of Yahweh {came} to me, saying, | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 "And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel: '[The] end comes, the end on the four corners of the land. | 2 "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to the land of Israel: The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land. |
3 Now the end [is] on you, and I will send my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all your detestable things. | 3 The end is now upon you and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. |
4 And my eye will not take pity on you, and I will not show compassion for your ways; on you I will bring your detestable things; they will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.' | 4 I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I will surely repay you for your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD. |
5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 'Look! Disaster after disaster [is] coming! | 5 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Disaster! An unheard-of disaster is coming. |
